FAQPage Schema
How do I automate skill configuration and inventory for a repository?▼

Automate skill configuration and inventory by running a Node script that detects repository facts like base branch and package roots, then reconciles skill settings and generates a machine-readable inventory of installed versions.

What is skill inventory reconciliation in a repository?▼

Skill inventory reconciliation is the process of detecting and updating skill configuration files based on repository metadata, ensuring installed tools have correct settings and producing a machine-readable list of skill versions and sources.

Do I need git and node to automate repository configuration management?▼

Yes, you need git for branch detection and node for script execution to automate the configuration management and inventory generation of installed skills within a repository.

Can I preview repository configuration changes before writing them?▼

Yes, you can preview repository configuration changes by running the script without the write flag to perform a dry run, which requires confirmation before actually writing updates to skill configuration files.

How does repository automation handle Linear workspace information?▼

Repository automation can read Linear workspace information when available, using it alongside detected base branch and package roots to reconcile and update skill configuration files accurately.

When should I run skill configuration reconciliation in my workflow?▼

Run skill configuration reconciliation after installing new skills into a repository to automatically configure each tool with the correct settings based on repository structure, reducing manual setup time and ensuring consistency.
